How can I prevent the chia seeds from clumping when mixing?

To prevent clumping, stir the chia seeds and almond milk initially, then stir again after 3 minutes, and once more after refrigerating.

What type of milk is best for these rocket pops?

The recipe specifies 1 cup of homemade or store-bought almond milk, with extra splashes if needed to achieve a regular chia pudding consistency.

How do I create the distinct colored layers in the popsicles?

After preparing the chia pudding, divide it equally into three bowls. Add blue coloring to one, pink to another, and leave the third plain, then layer them into the molds.

How long do the Chia Rocket Pops need to freeze?

Once assembled, place the popsicle molds in the freezer to chill for 1-2 hours until completely set.

Can I adjust the sweetness level of these pops?

Yes, the recipe suggests 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, but you can add more if you desire a sweeter taste.

How to Prepare Chia Rocket Pops [Vegan, Grain-Free]

In a bowl add chia seeds and almond milk, stir to combine. Then, stir again after 3 minutes to stop chia from clumping. Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow chia to expand. (Optional to leave overnight)
Remove chia from refrigerator and stir again to remove any clumps that have formed. Add splashes more almond milk if consistency is too thick - you want it to be regular chia pudding consistency. Add 3 tablespoons maple syrup for sweetness, plus more if desired. Then divide chia pudding equality into three separate bowls.
Add a pinch of blue coloring powder to one of the bowls and stir to combine. (With my coloring I needed just the tiniest amount — maybe 1/8 teaspoon or less). Do the same with the pink coloring powder to another bowl, stirring to combine. Leave the final bowl without food coloring.
Fill each of the six popsicle moulds one-third high with the pink chia pudding, next add the non-colored (white) chia pudding to be one-third high, and finally complete the popsicle by filling the remaining 1/3rd with blue chia pudding. Add a popsicle stick to the center of each, and place in the freezer to chill for 1-2 hours.
When frozen, remove from freezer. Wait approximately 10 minutes before pulling popsicles out of moulds for easier removal. Optional to roll popsicles in sprinkle stars before serving.
